The EU Cyber Resilience Act will effectively make open-source software illegal, and that sure as hell isn't pro-consumer. Neither is all the spooky surveillance and crippled cryptography they keep trying to mandate.
How exactly is open source illegal?
I mean.. lol
How are they even gonna enforce that?
Probably the same way they'll enforce their upcoming ban on encryption (yes really).
Fines, gigantic fines since people seem to love those.
